Beginning Again...

This may be the story of my life thus far..."beginning again".
I've been out of pocket most of the last couple of weeks and haven't concentrated on my weight loss goals, lifestyle change objective, or this blog.

Thank God for new beginnings. Tomorrow I "begin again". I wish that was the last time I ever used that phrase....Maybe it will be =) Amidst the negativety of having to begin again is a positive-at least I haven't given up.

I can say that being off my lifestyle change program and going back to some old habits of sugar, a few sodas, and some fast food has left me feeling blue, sluggish, and pretty much miserable. Good lesson. I do feel better physically and emotionally when I'm eating healthy and reduce if not completely cut out sugars.

I'll post my weight in the morning, but it's sure to be a gain. My hope is that it will be losses after that. Again the question-am I interested in living a healthy lifestyle or am I COMMITTED TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE? Only I can make the changes.

JILLIAN'S TIP OF THE DAY
Learn From Your Slip-ups If you did catch the show [Biggest Loser], you saw how the players' binge at the temptation made them feel...Filipe was sick to his stomach, and Tara practically turned gray and started shaking from the sugar rush. When your body gets used to eating healthy food, it will revolt against you if you binge. When a slip-up happens — and let's be realistic; it probably will at some point — pay attention to how your body reacts. You feel like crap, right? GOOD. Remember that feeling, and then the next time you're tempted, think your actions through. When you realize how much better you'll feel when you don't go on that binge, you'll be better equipped to resist the temptation.
